good evening fellow oppressed gun enjoying gentlemen. I saw an older post on Long Branch No 5 rifles and saw quotes that none were made.

I recently got two #5 rifles

1. A 303, looks like new, with the No 4 LB receiver and no wrist band mark.
2. A 7.62, looks like new, with a grooved but unmarked receiver and an Ishapore wrist band mark dated 1968. 800 meter rear sight, with RFI on the flat.

??? is is possible Ishapore was making No 5 rifles from older parts?

Is anyone else out there making Mutts from parts? these sure seem like good quality weapons...

appreciate any thoughts or schooling.
